Microsoft’s recent round of layoffs within its gaming division has impacted key teams at Activision Blizzard, including those behind Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile and Warcraft Rumble. The cuts come after the company’s $69 billion acquisition of the gaming giant and highlight challenges in the mobile gaming market, particularly for Warzone Mobile, which has not met expectations despite its innovative features. Warcraft Rumble, while initially successful, has also faced waning interest, leading to further layoffs. Despite these setbacks, Microsoft’s overall gaming business remains strong, with surging content sales and a robust pipeline of upcoming releases.
